Bloomsday!

Happy Bloomsday! I used to love the Dublin on Bloomsday, pulling into each DART station to hear Ulysses read aloud by Joyce-lovers in costume. I hope they still do that... Needless to say, Bloomsday is not celebrated (visibly at least) in Toronto. I was bemoaning this, but considering what's become of March 17th, it's probably not such a bad thing...

I briefly considered seeing if I could tweet all of Ulysses today, but that would rightly obliterate my followers and likely get me the sack too. Instead, I've thought I'd treat myself to a little virtual Bloomsday. Doesn't it look like fun? Of course, the day is always a good excuse to reread some Ulysses. I've included some quotes to whet your appetite. Or, you can also listen to Radio Bloomsday here.
